Title
Graph-Based Modeling for Distribution Systems: Application to Planning Problem
Supervisors
Ramadan El-Shatshat and Magdy Salama
Abstract
Distribution system engineers analyze distribution systems and operate them to minimize the costs of delivery of power while satisfying customers and imposed constraints such as voltage limits, congestion, system losses, substation/transformers operational loading limits, budget and such. It is hence a relatively complex and reasonably challenging task.
